PS: It's still four shifts today

After a while, a man who looked like a leader stepped forward, forced himself to look neither humble nor arrogant, and raised his head and eyes to meet the leader of the thieves.

"I wonder if what you just said is true, and whether the nobles on the other side obey this decree or not. We do not believe the promises of filthy aristocrats who are full of lies. The leader puffed out his chest and said loudly, trying to look firm, if we ignore his sweaty and clenched fists.

"As I said earlier, we don't force anyone, and whoever wants to resist and who wants to surrender is up to them. If you don't believe me, don't take your word for granted, no one here will force you. The leader of the thieves smiled and said gently, it doesn't matter to him whether everyone is willing to surrender or not, as long as the majority of people are in favor, it is actually no different to him whether they approve or not.

When the majority of the people are in favor, the Earl will accept their surrender to a limited extent, after all, if it is only a dozen people, the Earl has a way to find various reasons to treat them as if they have not surrendered, but now that the majority of the people agree, it does not make much sense whether they approve or not.

The leader hesitated for a moment, and his subordinates discussed it, and finally chose to surrender in a dark and strange way: "We agreed, and we hope that those nobles will be like you said." After saying that, he stood in the crowd.

The leader of the thieves shrugged his shoulders indifferently, "Since we have reached an agreement, then I propose to negotiate on the other side as a representative of our side, what is everyone's opinion." ”

"We believe in you, and I support you as our representative!" was the leader who questioned the leader of the thieves, his expression as if he was not the one who had just questioned the 'surrender' claim. Then the others chimed in, as if they had been hinted at by something, and it seemed that everyone was not stupid.

When the leader saw that everyone agreed, he turned and walked to the other side without hesitation, but there was a look of contempt in his eyes: "I thought your bones were so hard that you didn't want to surrender in the end. What else do you believe in my words, but don't believe in those nobles, you don't believe that you can not surrender, but you are just giving yourself a step, and you are afraid of death and dare not negotiate, what a group of villains. Since you don't have the strength, you have to accept the fate of being at the mercy of others, and you want to resist but don't want to take risks, which is the real coward. ’

At this time, on the earl's side, the leader of the thieves was standing in front of the earl under the pressure of several soldiers. After obtaining the consent of most of the thieves, he directly raised the white flag and found an officer who seemed to be somewhat useful, and demanded to see the Count and surrender.

Although the officer was unwilling, he reluctantly commanded his subordinates to press him to the earl. Despite all the discordant notes, the leader finally achieved his goal and came to the Count.

The earl stared at the man in front of him, who was all embarrassed and scarred, and looked like he might fall at any moment, and was silent for a while, and said in a deep voice: "I heard that you have decided to surrender to us?"

"Yes, Great Earl, I surrender to your army on behalf of all the sinners who are still alive, and I ask your merciful Excellencies, to forgive us for our ignorance and our impudent offenses. The leader of the thieves, who was stared at uncomfortably by the earl's sharp eyes, finally waited for the earl to open his mouth to ask, and hurriedly responded.

"Everyone?" the Count asked in a mocking tone. Apparently he didn't believe that the man in front of him could represent all the thieves.

"Yes, all thieves except those bastards of the 'Forest Safari' are willing to surrender to His Excellency the Count and accept punishment. The leader of the thieves firmly assured that the Count would not believe him, so he deliberately nodded and was willing to accept the punishment.

Of course, the punishment here is to serve in the border army for more than ten years, although it is the most dangerous frontline, but it is nothing to people like them who lick blood from the knife edge. And according to the convention, he is also treated as an officer at the level of a leader, which is another reason why he deliberately persuaded most thieves.

After a pause, the leader of the thieves was afraid that the earl would not understand, so he specially explained: "'Forest Safari' is the main shili of this operation, and it is a C-level thief group. They promised us benefits beforehand, and deceived us that there were no nobles here, so that we were deceived by them and offended your Excellency. ”

"But in the battle just now, in order to preserve their strength, they sent us men to take the lead, and only when we and Your Excellency's valiant soldiers fought to the point that they were both defeated, they joined in, intending to take advantage of the fisherman. ”

When he said this, his face was not red and his heart was not beating, he knew that at this time, he would have to splash all the dirty water on the forest hunters who had fled, after all, it was impossible for the Earl to confront them.

"Thankfully, the valiant army thwarted their plot. They are the masterminds of this operation, we are all blinded, please Your Excellency the Earl to be aware of it!" even he felt that this was the case as he spoke, and when he arrived at Zuihou, he was even more miraculously excited and burst into tears.

The Earl ignored the intrusive performance of the person in front of him, and the old and sophisticated Earl could naturally see that he was calculating, but he did not expose him, after all, he also needed to explain to the capital.

The Count looked around, looked at the people around him, and asked for their opinions: "Guys, what do you think? ”

Gala looked at the leader of the thieves and said with a hesitant expression, "I think it's better to let them surrender." Our men are also close to the limit, and if we do not accept it, no one will dare to surrender to us in the future, which will have a detrimental effect on your future battles, Your Excellency the Earl. ”

Dafannie, the baroness on one side, echoed her mentor's opinion, but her reasons were a little unacceptable to everyone: "Brother, I think it's better to accept them to surrender as Tutor Gala said, and that's the end of it." It's getting late, and little Lycia's birthday party isn't over yet. I also have to go back to bed quickly, lack of sleep is a woman's natural enemy. ”

"These bedbugs who have been scared out of their hearts are not worth my shot, and I don't have the ** to fight this kind of enemy. Zuihou was talking to Weipa Sandya, who was still covered in stains and blood. He belonged to the martial arts faction, and since he didn't approve of continuing to fight, there was almost no reason for him to continue fighting.

"Since everyone is in favor of acceptance, then it is decided. The Count saw that no one was ready to speak again, and nodded his decision.
